GETTING AT THE FACTS.
Something New About Quarantine
Matters.


Matters.
SAVANNAH, Oct 14.-EditOr Morning.
Ne,cs. The captain, K T. Ommundssen, Of
the bark Pomona, stated in letter that ap-
peared in your issue of Oct II, that
his vessel of All tons, and the Ankathor, 145
tons, arrived at Savannah quarantine
station Sept. 10, both from Santos, Brazil,
and that the Ankathor was ordered to
Brunswick Sept 81, and the Pomona to
Savannah. He also stated that the day the
pomona was released from quarantine
heren he received information that the
Ankathor had already been released four or
five days earlier, and had nearly completed
lOddinqn
The truth of the statement of the captain
of the Pomona was denied at the meeting of
the Sanitary Board, and the committee of the
Board of Trade.
Let us see what did take place, and find
out if the captain of the Pomona was cor
rectly informed.
The Ankathor on Sept. 81 weighed
anchor for Brunswick, and reached that
port on Sept. %; was detained there eight
days nine days inclusive, and reached her
dock Sept. 80.
Fortunate Ankathor! Now what became
of the Pomona in our waters and consigned
to Savannah's tender mercy! She entered
at Savannah Oct. 4, after fifteen days de-
tention, and four days after the Ankathor
entered her haven, notwithstanding the
Ankathor sailed for another port, which is
said to be i'm the quarantine pool" and
which four days the Ankathor employed i'm
loading, and the Pomona in investigating
our quarantine system, an occupation not
remunerative to ship owners.

ANXIOUS FOR RAILROADS.
One WHO'S Ready to Assist with Cash
to Build Them.

to Build Them.
SAVANNAH, Oct. 13.-EditOr Morning
Ne,Us:: think the railroad question alluded
to in this mornings issue should receive the
serious attention of every Savannah mer-
chant If we remain idle while our sister
cities build roads to pass almost in sight of
us taking our trade from us, and building
up other ports while we sleep away the OPP
portunity, we shall have no one to blame
but ourselves Savannah has more banking
capital than all the other cities in Georgia
put together, has thousands of dollars
locked up in small paying securities, AS well
as plenty of idle cash and with all of these
advantages why cannot we build railroads
and manufacture so many of the things pro
duced at our very doorsl Some cry, no
water power, while we have plenty of wood,
coal, and better facilities than some cities
that have millions invested in manufac-
turing.
We are justly called old fogies and
criticised for our lack of push and energy
but | believe if the right men will take this
thing in hand, we can raise the money and
furnish enough enterprise to accomplish all
that Savannah needs.
Men that are actively engaged in business
have little time to investigate outside affairs
and must have full confidence in the men
who are placed at the head of railroads, etc,
and nothing can succeed that is in any way
connected with a class Of men that have q
reputation for originating schemes, for the
sole object of making money for themselves,
commonly cdLIed freeze out. r..

The midnight reports of the Signal Ser

The rainfall here amounted to LEO inches,

only other station in this district reporting
rain was Jesup, where 53 inches fell The
Storm which was central over the lake
region moved off the New England coast.
The cyclone which was central in the Gulf
has evidently moved TO sea, and the proba-
hilities are that it will not affect this part of
the country.
The thermometer is highest III the ex-
IRENE Northwest, where the temperature
has fallen, but owing to the presence of the
